Exiled from her realm, living with the Black Widow Curse, Spirit Guide is at the whims of the dark one and a dark witch.  Fairy Nymphs may help and a high demon has grown tired of the politics. 

Will she break her curse with her twin soul?

  

Excerpt:

In the empty
space above the center of the table a heat emerged and with it a face that
appeared through the smoke and flames that engulfed the space above the
table.  The demon did not make a total
appearance but almost appeared as though he was checking a part of himself
through from his own realm.  “Oh, dark
sister, you call upon me. What do you wish to know from the dark places I only
know?”  the demon asked.
“Oh, dark one,
hear my plea. I beg of you to unveil the workings of the curse on Meridian!”
Raina shouted out.
The demon
answered Raina, with ease. “The curse bestowed on the once-spirit guide is The
Black Widow curse, and one that only a dark one can cast.  A dark one born of a demon with powers for
only the dark with a heart of black.”
“Dark one, I am
in your debt. We understand, on the surface, who has cast this curse on
Meridian.  We now need to understand how
we may find a way to break this curse,” Raina spoke to the demon.
The demon gave
his answer in riddle form.
The being whose
work is dark can only be stopped with the twin soul.
 The being you seek is hard to hold.
 Spirit guides who engage with a mortal are not
pure of heart in that act, but in the face of true love all remains
intact.  
Meridian does
not trust herself in her choice.
She will not
listen to her inner voice.
So many can
enter her mind, her greatest challenge in the true find.
The demon
disappeared and was gone from sight.

Interview with MD Fryson
Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?
I feel like I have the reigns of my stories, I sometimes feel that with the way it is set, that maybe some characters deserve a little more exposure than others, however, through the series there are characters who come in and out.
Convince us why you feel your book is a must read.  
How many books have you heard of that have a spirit come to be a human instead of the other way around?  This book has a lot of elements to add. There are different realms, places on Earth and the characters are comprised of Witches, Fairies, Spirits and Demons. Despite all different they all play a role in the story central to the plot.  Not to mention there is a romance involved where a simple human young man has no idea what he is involved with when he finally meets the Meridian in the flesh so to speak. In addition, the human boy has no idea who he really is.
Have you written any other books that are not published?  Yes! One is complete and will release in September of 2019. ‘Fairy Nymphs & The Demon Court.’  I am over half way complete to the fourth and final book in this series and my outline for the next series is complete and I will start writing soon.
Pen or type writer or computer?  Both. Pen for ideas and notes in my journal and computer to get those ideas translated into the story.
Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?
If you get a chance to read the book, I hope you find that there is a little something for you within the pages and you find one of my favorite characters, Lahash, the demon from the high court a favorite anti hero that he has become through the books.  He is introduced in ‘Black Widow Curse & The Coven’ specifically and becomes very instrumental in terms of major events though out the series. Of course, a reader would have to appreciate a sophisticated demon who is really a snob with an attitude. I think I appreciate him the most, because he is who he is, makes no apologies and doesn’t hide it.  Other characters in the book always know where they stand with him.

Of course, my favorite character is Aiden!  He will always be my favorite because his character was inspired my husband right down to his physical features, music choice and a small part of his background and how he grew up.  The only thing in the story that isn’t real is my husband wasn’t raised by his grandparents like Aiden is in the book. Everything else is him and in the book trailer readers can see a picture of him taken when he was 18.    Thanks for playing along!

My dick never got me in half as much trouble as my heart...

We were high school sweethearts. I was head over heels for
her and no one could tell me we weren’t going to last forever. College? Going
pro? My family’s money? None of it mattered. She was all I needed.

Then she ripped my heart out. But I’m not going to let that
happen again.

She’s back. Invading my life and acting like she was the
wronged one. The pain is still there, but I can’t keep my eyes off her. I can’t
stop thinking about her and how much was left unsaid between us. Being this
close is making me question everything I thought I knew about her.

This time everything will be on my terms. Everything…

What if the job you took to stay alive might be what kills you?

Kade knows what it is to suffer. He knows what it's like to lose everything and everyone around him.

His job in a Stormer Unit guarantees not just his survival in the decimated country of Azetaria, but his sister Meg's. Even if it means facing the Numachi warriors baying for his blood, he'll do what it takes to keep her safe.

Hadley is alone and surviving the only way she knows how. By hiding where predators won't find her and scavenging enough just to keep her alive.

When desperation drives Hadley to search for her missing brother, she mistakenly accepts the offer of recruitment into the Stormer's camp, only to be partnered with Kade and sent as a scout into Numachi territory.

The intimidating young Stormer may just know where her brother has gone. But can they stay alive long enough to find him?



Excerpt



Kade’s footsteps were heavy as he approached and stared down at her. “This isn’t going to work. You need to be wearing something lighter, or we’ll never make it to Lazen.”

Hadley tried for a weak shrug but could barely muster the energy. “What do you suggest?”

Kade raised an eyebrow, and a deep frown appeared on his face as he considered her.  He continued to stare at her as she sat, legs sprawled out on the ground. “The best I can come up with is cutting your clothing.”

His eyes narrowed as he searched the length of her. A bolt of alarm jostled her into thinking. “How much are you cutting off?”

Kade dipped his chin, his voice low as he spoke. “Enough, so you don’t keep fainting, enough, so you still pass for a boy.”

He reached for a knife and wore the slightest of smiles as he unsheathed it. “Let’s hope you have hairy legs then eh?”

Hadley’s lips split into a smile before she remembered she was annoyed with him for being so smug.

Author: Madison Faye
Genre: Holiday Boss M/F/M Romance
Release Date: December 17, 2018





Blurb

We’ve made a list, and we’ve checked it, twice
And she’s about to find out what happens to bad girls
tonight.
We’ll deck her halls with more than holly
This Christmas Eve, we want her nice and naughty.

They call us
ruthless, and cruel. Filthy rich beyond belief, dominant beyond compare, and we
run our company with iron fists.

It’s the night
before Christmas, but all is not calm. And all sure as hell
ain’t right or bright. See, someone’s been skimming from the company
piggy-bank, and selling secrets to our rivals.


Not just anyone though. Her.

Noelle Healy. The
new hire. The innocently tempting, forbidden little tease who’s
been driving us insane in our need to have her.

…and we will have
her.

Dark hair, wild,
fierce eyes, and just enough sass in those pouty lips and curvy hips to drive a
man wild. Or two of them.

But someone’s been a
bad, bad girl this year, and she’s about to find her stocking
stuffed with two somethings much harder than coal. We’ve got
some heavy bells for her to jingle, and enough mistletoe to
last all night.

Christmas might come
but once a year, but the two of us are far more frequent than
that. And Noelle’s about to unwrap a bah-humbugging she’ll never forget.

PROLOGUE

COLE

Have you
ever been to a funeral where the preacher stands before the friends and loved
ones of the deceased and talks about how shitty the person was? How he fucked
around on his wife? Or spent his family’s life savings to feed his gambling
addiction? How about during his bachelor party when he snorted coke off a
hooker’s ass?
Me neither.
Why is it
that we’re fucking saints the moment we die?
You hear
the preacher say things like, “Oh, John
Smith was a lovely man who loved his wife and kids,”
when he should really
be saying, “John Smith was a worthless
piece of shit who fucked the underage babysitter every chance he fucking got
while his wife was busy working two jobs and raising his ungrateful children.”
And let’s
not forget that the deceased in that casket before you never even went to
church. Let alone knew the preacher who speaks so highly of him. All he knows
are the stories the blinded loved ones wrote down on a little card for him to
share.
He’s a fucking puppet.
I haven’t
read the Bible word for word, but I know the Lord says if we confess our sins
and ask for forgiveness, he will cleanse our souls, and we will be forgiven.
Poof. It’s like magic.
Now that
begs the question–what if you’re not sorry? What if you don’t care to be
forgiven?
No amount
of holy water could cleanse my soul, and I’m okay with that because when I
sinned, I understood that I would one day have to pay. We’re all going to die
eventually. You can be one of those people who bury your head in the sand to
avoid talking about it all you want, but it’s life!
Live or
die.
Heaven or
hell.
Angel or
devil.
It’s black
and white. There are no gray areas.
So tell me
... when you’re lying in that casket in front of your friends and family, what
are they going to think of you? Are they gonna believe that preacher who talks
bullshit, or are they gonna know you didn’t care if you were going to burn for
eternity?
I’m not a
religious person. Obviously. But I do know this. When I am damned to hell,
it’ll be because I fucking earned it.

Unwrapping His Mountain Package by Madison Faye



Title: Unwrapping His Mountain Package
Series: Blackthorn Mountain Men #7
Author: Madison Faye
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 17, 2018





Blurb

Big truck, hard abs, filthy mouth, and dominant af.
The hardest new alpha on the mountain’s got a very
huge
package.
And this Christmas, it’s all for one lucky lady…

Outlaw. Soldier. Villain. Hero. Smuggler for the mob. I’m
whatever the highest bidder needs me to be, and I don’t ask questions.

That is, until a freak avalanche sends me crashing over a
cliff up on Blackthorn Mountain, and I find out what—or who—I’m really
carrying.

She’s innocent and tempting—the blonde and beautiful little
captive I didn’t even know I had. Legs for days, curves that beg for my rough
hands, and a sassy spitfire attitude that gets my pulse roaring.

The mountain blizzard has us trapped. Just the two of us in
an abandoned cabin, on Christmas Eve, with nothing but our body heat to keep
warm. I know she’s off-limits. I know the mob boss who’s paying me wants to
sell her to settle a debt. But once I’ve had a taste of Holly, there ain’t no
way I’m letting that happen.

She came to me by accident. But I found her. I
unwrapped her. I made her mine.

The storm wants to bury us. The mob wants to take her from
me.

But she’s my Christmas miracle. She’s my pretty little
present, and I’m going to unwrap every inch of her with my teeth.

She was never meant for me. But now, I’m keeping her all
to myself
.
